Abstract
A field study was conducted for 3 consecutive years (1992-94) at parbh ani with pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] and soybean [Glycine m ax (L.) Merr.] intercropping under rainfed conditions, to find out an appropriate spacing arrangement. Soybean 'PK 472' with 2 rows was foun d most suitable for intercropping in pigeonpea spaced at 135 cm apart. This intercropping system gave the highest soybean-grain equivalent ( 3,211 kg/ha), gross (Rs 26,627/ha) and net (Rs 22,771/ha) monetary ret urns, land-equivalent ratio (1.54) and yield recovery (161%).
